Fun Things to Do with Kids This Weekend in Grapevine, Texas!

Our daughter loves Grapevine, Texas so much that every time I am (Jennifer) away at a conference, she literally PLANS a trip to visit this magic city in the Dallas-Fort Worth area! She convinces her dad to drive her ALL the way to Grapevine so she can visit Legoland and walk around the Gaylord Texan!

Here's our guide for families who are visiting the Grapevine area.

Visit Grapevine Week! - Grapevine Vintage Railroad! #grapevine

Sometimes, I feel especially fortunate to live in Texas because we have a wealth of experiences for singles, families, and others! Here is one of the resources that I hope to experience soon, but I am super excited that it is available and it is within a stone's throw of my house.

Here is the promotion video from last year:

This travel post is focused on the Grapevine Vintage Railroad in Grapevine, TX!

This railroad is not just a simple ride from one place to another, but it is an interactive journey with the conductor, railroad staff, and sometimes a robber on horseback.  ;)

Almost every day the train is available for the following routes:

- Grapevine to Fort Worth Stockyards

- Stockyard Trinity River Ride

- Grapevine Fun Train

The first class and tour class rates are available. I will admit that I am not sure of the difference on a day train, instead of an overnight train.

Special Trains:

July 2013
- Great Train Robberies (Saturdays and Sundays)
- July 4th Train
- Friday Fun Trains

August 2013

- Great Train Robberies (Saturdays and Sundays)

September 2013

- Labor Day Trains

October 2013

- All Hallows Eve Train

November 2013

December 2013

Enjoy!

Do you have any suggestions for visiting Grapevine AND riding the Grapevine Vintage Railroad?

Sincerely,

The Millennial Family
